5 THINGS: Ice Cream and Music In The Park

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, June 25, 2012:

Nom nom nom! Don’t miss the ice cream social at the Peace Dale Library from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. It is the kickoff for the 2012 Youth Summer Reading program, and there will also be sidewalk art and other activities. For more info, click . The event is free. The program is connected to the program.

Did you miss fine art this weekend? If you missed the fine arts festival this weekend, then you might want to check out the photos of Onne van der Wal and ceramic artist Charlie Baramonde at the Courthouse Center for the Arts. The galleries are open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more info, click .

To paraphrase Chicago, “Monday, in the park.” Free weekly concerts at Marina Park start tonight at 6:30 p.m. For more info, click . The Wakefield Civic Band, under the direction of Mr. Barry Liebermann, is scheduled to perform.

Goaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. Girls’ premier soccer tryouts are 5 p.m. at the University of Rhode Island. Click for more info. The tryout fee is $20.

Pick-up ball. There is for adults 35+ at Peace Dale Elementary School from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The cost is $5.

Blogging, events, letters, what more could you want? Many people often ask me, “Hey are you the Patch guy?” And the answer is yes, yes I am. Then, most often they want to know how they can get things on the site. Let me present you with three options:

• The easiest way for me is if you use our blog form. If you have a user account, congrats! You can submit directly to our queue by going here. For more info on blogging, go here.
• If you think your item is more appropriate for the events calendar, that's a simple enough process as well. Go here, and then hit the “Add An Event” button at the bottom of the page. (Note: You might want to search for your event first, since we do have a calendar editor that adds things on her own awesome initiative.)
• Finally, do you need some input before posting? Or do you have a release that is more of a traditional “letter to the editor” thing? Fine then – send it along to me, either at stephen.greenwell@patch.com or narragansett@patch.com.

I would like to receive your periodical on a full-time daily basis. If that's the case, then you can get it in your e-mail box, bright and early each morning, by going here.

The Diary of Anne Frank. On this day in 1947, The Diary of a Young Girl, better known by the aforementioned title, was released.

“I’m from a little place called England – We used to run the world before you.” Happy 51^st birthday to Ricky Gervais.
